Couscous in Paris

Hi, Can anyone recommend a place to eat a good couscous in Paris? Thanks

You can try Chez Omar on rue de Bretagne in the 3rd. It is probably one of the better known couscouseries in the city. It has a rather nice, casual atmosphere, and the food is quite tasty. (Also cheap!)

Does anyone know a good place for couscous in the 5th? I would like to eat at one too and that is where I am staying. I know this is Gichelle%26#39;s post, but maybe it would help him too as there is no mention of where he is staying.

Chez Omar, is also my first choice but in the 5ème you can go Chez Jaafar at 22, Rue Sommerand. A tiny little place but Monsieur Jaafar have a good selection for a really cheap price. Bon appétit.

Thanks Truffaut, I am staying at the 12th, but I will check those places. Can you tell me the name of the closest Metro Station?

|||

I love Timgad, Rue Brunel (metro Argentine).

They have a website.

Closest Metro to Chez Omar is probably Etienne Marcel, Reamur-Sebastopol, or Arts %26amp; Metiers. Sorry for not being clearer, but we usually walk from somewhere nearby.

The information on the website does not contain price information. What are prices like?

|||

- La boule rouge, a sefardi take on couscous. 1 rue de la Boule Rouge, 9e.

- Wally le Saharien. More upscale than the others (€ 50 upwards), but worth it. 36 rue Rodier 9e.

- L%26#39;Homme bleu. Excellent value for money, you can also try its excellent tajines. 55bis rue Jean-Pierre Timbaud, 11e.

|||

Le Souk near Bastille is really good although I can%26#39;t remember the full address. Stay away from Le 404 in the 3rd, beautiful interior, very funky and trendy but food not great.

The restaurant of Les Degres de Notre Dame (a nice 10 room hotel in the 5th close to the Seine opposite Notre Dame and few blocks from St Michel) has nice Moroccan dishes with couscous
